This event group covers an NHL game between Utah Hockey Club and Chicago Blackhawks scheduled for March 9, 2026 at 8:30 PM ET. Markets span moneyline (winner), multiple over/under total goals thresholds (2.5 through 9.5 on Kalshi; 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 on Polymarket), and a spread bet on Utah winning by 2+ goals.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both platforms apply identical threshold logic (O/U X.5 = Over if X+1 or more goals scored) and consistent edge-case handling (postponement = market remains open; cancellation with no makeup = 50-50 split; shootout = +1 goal added to winner's score for resolution purposes).
Primary resolution logic:
Official NHL final score as published on nhl.com, including all overtime and shootout adjustments per platform rules.
Core resolution logic:
Over/Under markets resolve based on combined total goals scored by Utah and Chicago in regulation, overtime, and shootout periods.
In shootout scenarios, one goal is added to the winning team's final score for resolution calculation purposes.
Moneyline resolves to the team with the higher final score after all periods and shootout adjustments.
Spread (Utah -1.5) resolves to Utah if Utah wins by 2 or more goals; otherwise resolves to Blackhawks.
If game is postponed, all markets remain open pending completion.
If game is canceled with no makeup game scheduled, all markets resolve 50-50.
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Shootout Resolution: One goal is added to the winning team's score for the purpose of calculating total goals and determining Over/Under and spread outcomes.
Game Postponement: Markets remain open and do not settle until the game is completed on a future date.
Game Cancellation: If the game is canceled entirely with no makeup game, all markets resolve 50-50 (refund or equal payout to both sides).
Threshold Granularity: Kalshi offers O/U markets at 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5 thresholds; Polymarket offers 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5. All use identical threshold mechanics.
Timing:
Resolution occurs after the final buzzer of the game on March 9, 2026, including all overtime and shootout play. Markets settle within 24 hours of official NHL score confirmation.
